Literacy Assessment in Year 2

Longfield Primary School

Page 2: Literacy Assessment in Year 2 Longfield Primary School

What do we assess?

• Speaking and listening.

• Writing

• Reading

Page 3: Literacy Assessment in Year 2 Longfield Primary School

Speaking and Listening

• Not assessed through a task or test.• On-going teacher assessment

through observation.• Level 1, 2 or 3 will be reported to

parents at the end of the year.

Page 4: Literacy Assessment in Year 2 Longfield Primary School

What are we looking for?

• How well do children listen to teachers and other pupils and how do they respond?

• Can they answer questions?• Can they explain what someone else

has said?• Can they report back on a group

discussion?

Page 5: Literacy Assessment in Year 2 Longfield Primary School

How can Parents and Carers help?

• Give children opportunities to talk to you about what they do and see.

• Ask them open-ended questions and listen to the answers. (Questions beginning with why?, how?, and what do you think?)

• Encourage them to ask you questions.

WritingWriting

• Speaking and listening supports writing.

• The more a child can speak using a wide range of vocabulary, the better their writing, because they will use the words they know and understand.

How can you help?

- Play ‘Object I Spy’

- Silly Sentences

- Create a picture

- Finish my story

Assessment process for writing

• Statutory tasks only one part of process.

• Teachers look at a whole range of child’s work throughout the year.

• Teacher assessment level given for writing at the end of the year – including performance in the statutory tasks, not separately.

Page 9: Literacy Assessment in Year 2 Longfield Primary School

Tasks for writing

• Shorter task – 30 minutes• Longer task – 45 minutes• Spelling test – about 20 minutes• Handwriting

These will take place some time in the summer term – when we think the children are ready.

Types of writing through the year include:

Stories

Letters and notes

Non-chronological reports

Poetry

Recounts

Posters

Information

The assessment tasks will include some parts of some of these – all types of writing the children will already be very familiar with.
